Ortom further described Chief Akinkunmi as a peace-loving man who has contributed immensely to the Benue State economy, “particularly in Makurdi where his companies have employed many youths of the state.”
The Governor called on the kidnappers, “to free the founder of Tito group to return to his family unhurt and without conditions.”
